Answer:
110 apples
Step-by-step explanation:
Come up with an equation first. The equation I used is
0.5p - 5 = 50
I used p for pounds but it could be any letter
Now solve the equation, you want to get p by itself.
0.5p - 5 = 50
+5 +5
---------------------
0.5p = 55
Divide 0.5 from both sides
0.5/0.5 cancels out so now it looks like
p = 55/0.5
55/0.5 = 110
x = 110
And you can always check your work by plugging 110 into x and solving.
